Their leader suggest that Sid joins them but Diego replies that Sid is a 'vital part' in their herd. Shortly after, Sid encounters the Mini-Sloth tribe once again.

The crack then widens into a gigantic fissure which splits opens the wall and drains the floodwaters but in the process, Scrat falls within the fissure and gets washed away.

Meanwhile, Scrat climbs the adjacent glacial wall beside them and inadvertedly creates a long crack when he punctures the ice with his acorn. He and Ellie reunites with the others atop a boulder but their joy is short-lived as the water is still rising. Kill the two by tricking them to dislodge a boulder, allowing Manny to save Ellie from drowning at the same time. Cretaceous and Maelstorm later ambushes Manny underwater but he manages to Manny is forced to go back to save Ellie after the latter gets trapped inside a cave. Just as the group bypasses the geysers, the ice dam subsequently fails, unleashing a devastating flood upon the valley. After being harassed by vultures, the group finds the boat behind a field of hot geysers, which separates Manny, Sid and Diego from Ellie and her brothers when they argue about which way's safest to go through. The next morning, Sid tells the others about his experience but none are convinced. Sid lights a fire for them, and believes that he has finally found respect, but they plan to sacrifice him by tossing him into a volcano Sid narrowly escapes. Sid is kidnapped by a tribe of mini-sloths who believe Sid to be a god. Ellie and Manny ultimately reconcile when they must co-operate to save the group when the ground cracks under their feet. Despite this bonding moment with Manny, she distances herself from him when he suggests 'saving their species'. She finally realizes she is a mammoth and also expresses her suspicions about how different she was from other opossums. They discover an area which Ellie recalls as the place where she was adopted.

After a dangerous encounter with Cretaceous and Maelstrom while crossing a pond, Sid prompts Diego to encourage him to admit and face his fears - Diego insists that 'fear is for prey', so Sid points out that Diego is behaving as if HE is the water's prey. Sid invites her to tag along with the group to escape the flood, and she brings her brothers. Manny is still worried about being the last mammoth alive and his family, who had been killed by humans, but is surprised when he encounters Ellie, a female woolly mammoth who believes she is an opossum and Crash and Eddie's adoptive sister. When Manny is briefly separated from them, Diego and Sid encounter two mischievous opossums named Crash and Eddie who drive them nuts by playing Whac-A-Mole with them. Meanwhile, one of the glacier fragments that fell earlier actually contains two sea reptiles from the Mesozoic era Cretaceous, a Cymbospondylus and Maelstrom, a Pliosauroidea which later frees themselves and devours a turtle named Stu. Shortly after, a huge chunk of ice breaks off from the top of the dam, initiating their immediate evacuation. A vulture tells them that there is a boat at the other end of the valley that may save them all, but they only have three days to reach it or die. However, the trio subsequently discovers that the ice wall is actually a dam that is barely holding a massive reservoir that could flood the valley to nearly a mile underwater if it fails. Manny, Sid, and Diego are currently living in a large valley surrounded by an enormously high ice wall on all sides.
